  1. Refers to Non-Prior Service (NPS) individuals whose first formal application (i.e., taking a screening physical exam or the Armed Services 
      Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)) was in FY13.
  2. AFQT scores are percentiles that are normalized to the 1997 American youth population.  For example, a score of 92 represents the 
      92nd percentile and means that 92 percent of the youth population scored at or below that score.  It is standard to report these AFQT score 
      percentiles in the categories listed below.
Cat I:   100-93 Cat IIIB:   49-31
Cat II:   92-65 Cat IV:   30-10
Cat IIIA:   64-50 Cat V:   9-1
